CeMAT 2016

RULMECA presents innovations in the field of rollers, drum motors and RollerDrives at the CeMAT 2016 exhibition, Hannover, 31st of May – 3rd of June 2016.

The RULMECA group of companies with headquarter in Bergamo and 22 establishments around the world is completing a new building for roller production in Italy to increase the production capacity and improve the service as well as delivery times.

Furthermore the RULMECA manufacturing base for unit handling drum motors in Germany has successfully passed the certification for drum motors according to UL 1004-1. For the first time RULMECA drum motors with diameter range 81,5mm to 320mm can be certified for the North American market . Since many European manufacturers supply their equipment to end customers in the USA, the listing in the UL database facilitates the approval of the complete machinery installation with RULMECA drum motors. The "Certificate of Compliance " has UL Document Number: E471906.

RULMECA Germany GmbH has long term experience in the development of drum motors and offers them with sealing systems in high ingress protection rates. Effectively drum motors in IP66/69 have been tested and released for operations in most demanding cleaning purposes in the food industries.

IP66/69 means a 2 in 1 protection level which has to be specified that way as IP69 does not automatically include IP66: with IPX6 powerful water jets from a distance of 3 meters (12.5 mm nozzle) with 100 liters per minute and a pressure of 1 bar (1,000 hPa) against the enclosure from any direction for 3 minutes have no harmful effects on the system. The IPX9K delivers protection against powerful high temperature water jets. Systems are protected against close-range, high pressure and high temperature spray downs. The water volume is lower with 14–16 liters per minute but the pressure is higher with 80–100 bar (80,000–100,000 hPa) at a much closer distance of 0.1–0.15 m and a water temperature of 80°C.
